· India · The Hindu, Deccan Herald
The Kerala government will fast-track the establishment of a zoo-safari park at Nadukani in Kannur district. Sports, Youth Affairs and Museums Minister O.J. Janeesh announced the decision following a review meeting at the Taliparamba block panchayat hall. A local committee chaired by the Taliparamba MLA has been formed to coordinate departmental activities and prepare a precise schedule. The project will occupy a 252.8-acre site handed over by the Revenue department to the Zoo department, with the Kerala Forest Research Institute tasked with inventorying over 1,000 trees on the land. Plantation Corporation workers currently on the site will be absorbed into the project.
Why it matters
The acceleration of the 252-acre project will boost regional tourism infrastructure and employment opportunities in northern Kerala.
